After four years of service, declaring it time for a change, Adv. Michael Shaham has resigned as President of LES and has recommended that board member Hananel Kvatinsky be appointed in his stead, until the next general meeting, the change being implemented immediately.
I have no idea what has precipitated this sudden change. I hope that this sudden departure is not indicative of poor health or some other adverse change of circumstances for outgoing chairperson Adv. Shacham.
Hananel Kvatinsky is the Director of IP at Orbotech, a leading company offering optical inspection and imaging solutions.
I have thoroughly enjoyed LES events that I have attended, and, without knowing exactly who did the work behind the scenes, assume that both Hananel and Michael were heavily involved in organizing the events, which were most professional, and rather more frequent than events by the Israel chapter of the AIPPI or by the AIPA. I am sure that Hananel Kvatinsky who is knowledgeable, capable and an entertaining speaker in his own right, is a good choice for the interim, and will be pleased to propose him at the next AGM.
